Re: [LegacyUG] Sorting children - twins
Legacy has a function that allows you to change the order of children. With the family involved open in Family view, right click in the list of children and select Childrens Settings from the drop down menu. Doing so should bring up a screen that has the word ORDER in the lower right-hand corner with two arrows to the right of the word, Highlight either twin and select either arrow to move the twin to the order you want them.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sorting children - twins
Re-spell the first and second part of both names (not the surname) to correct the birth order listing might correct the listing in a report.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sorting children - twins
Would having a feature added to the birthdate to indicate the time of birth solve the problem? There would not be a problem if one twin was born just before midnight and the other after midnight but I imagine that that is not a common occurrence in case of twins. John Francis, perhaps you could make that a suggestion that to Legacy?

>From Help: To reach the Child List, click the Child Settings icon in the upper-right corner of the Child section on the Family View. You can also right-click on a child's name on the Family View and then choose Children's Settings. Changing the Sequence of Children As children are added to a family, Legacy places them in chronological order according to their birthdates. If no birthdate is included, the child is placed at the end of the list. If you want to change this order, highlight the child whose name you want to move and then use the up and down Order arrows in the lower right corner to move the name within the list.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sorting children - twins
I think that the order in which it sorts children when you have multiple with the same birth date is a bit undefined. I suspect that it will use the last updated date to sort them but I am not sure. Certainly, when stepping through them from the bar between the individual and spouse I will find that if I change the first of the pair then the next one I get shown will be the next one after the pair rather than the second of the pair. It also shows up in the list of children under the parents changing. Ideally, they should sort on the child's first name or the RIN for consistency.
